Chapter 101: Death? A New Beginning!

Bai Yao and Zhang Wenbin were there.

The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.

In just a dozen steps, Fang Yuan had crossed over the bodies of dozens of nameless dried corpses.

Zhang Wenbin was holding a strange-looking Gu worm in his palm, and his whole body was covered in blood.

In his other hand, he was holding a mortal with a twisted expression, whose flesh and blood had been sucked dry just like the corpses on the ground.

Zhang Wenbin was actually sacrificing a living person here to refine Gu worms!

There was also a large pool next to them, and it was filled with blood and broken limbs.

If it was going according to plan, it was the material that Zhang Wenbin needed to refine the second Gu worm.

Bai Yao was watching from not far away. When she saw that it was Fang Yuan, anger appeared in her eyes.

This bastard!

Previously, he used such a weak voice transmission to talk to her, causing her to miss the auction. Who knew how the higher-ups of the sect would punish her when she returned.

In the end, he appeared here alive and kicking?

The more Bai Yao thought about it, the angrier she got, wishing she could kick him away.

But Zhang Wenbin was clearly one step faster.

The moment he saw Fang Yuan, his eyes lit up.

His pupils were filled with excitement and bloodlust.

“It’s you?”

He laughed maniacally. “I haven’t gone to look for you, but you actually came to me of your own accord!”

“I really did not expect that you would do such a thing.”

Fang Yuan laughed coldly. The Gu refinement method he changed did not include sacrificing a living person, so this was definitely Zhang Wenbin’s request.

“Hehe, they are just mortals, why not use the lives of these ants in exchange for my future supreme mind?”

“You are crazy.”

Fang Yuan shook his head. He did not provoke him, so why would he be so extreme?

“Crazy?”

Zhang Wenbin laughed evilly as he threw aside the dried corpse in his hand, grabbing a piece of internal organs from the blood pool and chewing it.

A strange red light appeared from his body.

It seemed that after he devoured the flesh and blood, he had used some kind of Gu worm’s ability, greatly increasing his strength.

“I have never been so clear-headed before!”

Zhang Wenbin shouted, “Come! Fight me. After I kill you, Wan Qian won’t be able to escape from my grasp!”

Fang Yuan did not say anything more. He raised his hand and moved forward.

Whoosh!

Cold air gushed out.

“Ha, such a small trick!”

Zhang Wenbin immediately activated his spirit essence to control the Gu worm in his hand, and the red light shone brightly for a moment.

But just as he was about to attack, the red light suddenly wrapped around Zhang Wenbin himself, making him unable to move.

Before he could react, the cold air surged over and froze more than half of his body.

Zhang Wenbin struggled with all his might, trying to break free.

But his palm hurt.

The newly cultivated Gu worm actually bit through his palm and devoured its master’s flesh and blood.

The spirit essence in his acupoints was continuously absorbed by it, and his cultivation realm almost fell one layer in an instant.

“How is this possible!”

Zhang Wenbin’s face was full of shock, but soon he seemed to understand something. “This Gu worm… No, Bai Yao, you did this me!”

Not far away, Bai Yao was expressionless.

“Back then, when you wanted to kill me, did you think of today?”

Fang Yuan smiled lightly. “But you are really stupid, you actually gave me a month to grow. If you had insisted on fighting me before, you might have won.”

It seemed that his trick was successful, and this Gu worm not only caused Zhang Wenbin’s personality to change, he went berserk, and it even backfired on its owner, wearing down his cultivation.

Using ice element to seal him now could be considered doing a good deed for the sect, preventing him from killing innocents in the future and dirtying the Gu Immortal Sect’s reputation.

Yes!

This reason was absolutely flawless.

Zhang Wenbin gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. “If it was not for the Gu Immortal Sect forbidding life-and-death battles between disciples with large cultivation gaps, do you think you would still be alive?”

“Then you can only blame yourself for joining the wrong sect.”

Zhang Wenbin was extremely unwilling. He gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain in his body.

“I did not expect that… you… you actually colluded with the Gu Demon Sect, you are clearly only a junior from one of Yunding City’s trading clans, how can you be related to them?”

“Is it important?” Fang Yuan naturally would not explain.

Zhang Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

That’s right.

The winner takes all.

The process and the facts were no longer important.

He could even sense that Fang Yuan didn’t intend to kill him and was prepared to hand him over to the sect for punishment.

With his current appearance, there was a high chance that he would be locked up in the meditation hall and never see the light of day.

But no matter what, he was one of the three experts of the younger generation in the inner sect.

He was used to being praised by his fellow disciples and friends all year round.

How could someone as arrogant as him endure such grievances?

“Ha, Haha, hahahaha!”

Zhang Wenbin laughed wildly at the sky. “Very good, the two of you.”

His body suddenly shook and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It dyed a piece of the ice crystal red, and only the acupoints in his abdomen lit up with a dazzling light.

A terrifying power condensed and surged in his body, causing the two present to feel an indescribable pressure.

“Bai Yao set me up, Fang Yuan killed me!”

Zhang Wenbin roared before his death, and his energy surged. “Even if I die, I will not let you off easily!”

Boom!

Along with a loud roar, a blazing light shone as Zhang Wenbin’s body collapsed into a singularity.

“Not good, he is going to detonate his acupoints!”

Bai Yao’s expression changed, and not daring to be careless, she immediately used her Gu worm to defend herself.

Countless limbs grew out of her acupoints, forming an umbrella-shaped flesh shield in front of her.

Fang Yuan also quickly reacted, using the Sunlight Gu’s Yang Flame Incarnation to defend himself.

But he was also a little uncertain.

No matter what, Zhang Wenbin was still an Enlightenment Realm Gu master, and there was not much of a difference in cultivation level between them.

The power of self-destruction from a lifetime of cultivation was absolutely devastating.

Fang Yuan’s acupoints was currently lacking in spirit essence, and he still didn’t know if he could block it.

But right at this moment, the Bloodthirsty Gu started to move.

It actually flew out of the acupoints without him giving the order, opening its mouth and swallowing the energy singularity.

Then, it flew high into the sky.

It was as if it was a warrior ready to die to save others.

Fang Yuan was shocked. The Bloodthirsty Gu was planning to sacrifice itself to protect him?

As expected, the next second, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Your Bloodthirsty Gu sensed that its master was facing a life-and-death crisis, and took the initiative to use its ability Vitality Plunder!]

[Warning! Your Bloodthirsty Gu has swallowed energy that it cannot digest, and its life is in danger!]

Immediately after, the sky lit up with a ray of light that was even more dazzling than the sunlight.

The Bloodthirsty Gu’s body could not withstand this huge energy impact in the end. It exploded like fireworks, leaving no bones behind, turning into a rain of blood.

“Bloodthirsty Gu…”

Fang Yuan’s heart was filled with extremely complicated feelings.

Gu worms were like children to Gu masters and had been raised for a long time.

Watching it die, he felt very uncomfortable.

[Your Bloodthirsty Gu is dead.]

Following this notification sound, Frost Control, Heat Control, Bloodthirsty…

All of these were the skills that saved him from danger.

These Bloodthirsty Gu’s powers also slowly dissipated with its death.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Fang Yuan’s strength would be greatly reduced in the short term.

Could it end like this?

No!

The Bloodthirsty Gu had followed him for so long. He definitely would not let it die like this!

Fang Yuan’s mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

There was another way!

Blood refinement!
